• My jeans don´t fit like before

• Odd bump under my left armpit..under skin
  I agree with the others about the ingrown hair (but only if it looks swollen/puffy and red)...another possibility that pops into my mind is it could be a cyst (my mother actually had one removed as a teenager right around her armpit area). By all mean...

• Best pregnancy test to take?
  I agree with antichrist...take 2-3 tests (any brand will do)...and if you still aren't satisfied, go to your gyno or local health clinic and ask them to give you a pregnancy test or have your blood work done (blood linked pregnancy tests are 100% accur...

  I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it takes 3-7 days, depending upon your percentage of body fat, for all hard drugs (I.e. cocaine, meth, ecstasy, etc.) to clear out of your system...it's marijuana that can take a month or longer to clear out of your sys...
  
  
• Will birth control kill the baby?
  Birth control isn't 100% effective...I'm sure you've heard that before...so yes you still can be pregnant. Taking EC (Emergency Contraception-morning after pill) within 72 hours of intercourse can prevent pregnancy, but also again, is not 100% effecti...
  
  
• 6 weeks pregnant and terrified with spotting & loss of symptoms!

• Why am I still bleeding a week after sex?
  I'd definitely get a hold of your gyno and schedule an appointment if you are really worried about the bleeding. If you are soaking a pad in an hour I'd immediately go to the hospital; that means something has ruptured or has been punctured. Having v...
  
  
• Still smoking, will I pass a drug test today?
  Any home remedy or specialty drink you buy from a head shop isn't 100% gauranteed to help pass a drug test. A lot of it has to deal with the percentage of body fat you have...the heavier you are the longer it takes for a drug to go through your system...

• Odd behavior
  I personally haven't experienced this similar problem, but I do have 2 cats that are over the age of 20. Is your cat experiencing any health problems or does she seem to always be tired (sleep all day or not very active as she used to)? If she is may...
  
  
• Help with my drooling problem
  I've had plenty of nights where I've drooled in my sleep. For me personally when I narrow those nights down, the previous day before I really was busy and pooped myself out. When I sleep very hard I tend to drool almost every time, I also find that I...
  
  
• Skinny vs fat

• Why am I throwing up in my mouth?

• Do diet pills work for you?
